VALUE ENHANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

INCREASED BEDROOMS CAPACITY:
The previously outlined 14-bedroom extension would optimise the space to increase the bedroom stock and decrease the meeting room space in the hotel. This scheme includes 12 suites, which will allow the Hotel to accommodate medium/long stay customers with premium offering. Whilst also providing additional rooms revenue, this would further optimise the P&L through the removal of additional operational departments which have a lower profit margin.

EXPANSION OF THE HEALTHCLUB:
The current healthclub has evolved organically and is now a successful business stream. The existing facilities can benefit from an expansion programme to attract visitors from a broader catchment.
.
ALTERNATIVE USE – HEALTHCARE:
Bournemouth is a strong micro-location for retirement living and the hotel’s close proximity to both the beach and town centre, alongside strong public transport links provides merit in the opportunity for a conversion to a healthcare living destination.

ASSET MANAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES:
The hotel also represents a rare opportunity to acquire a hotel free of branding or management, thus providing a blank canvas for a new owner to reposition the asset in the market and benefit from both cost synergies and brand loyalty programs.

Any purchaser will be required to comply with
the relevant legislation in respect of present
